Sometime in October is probably fine, for northern climates. Sow 1-2\" deep, spaced 8\" apart in rows 12\" apart. Foliage is short, so be sure to keep it weeded! \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Experimental Farm Network Seed Store","offers":[{"title":"1\/2 Pound: $14.50","offer_id":45882977255477,"sku":null,"price":14.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Pound: $25","offer_id":45882977288245,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 Pounds: $70","offer_id":45882977321013,"sku":null,"price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2333\/6781\/files\/driftless_red_shallot.jpg?v=1786485680","url":"https:\/\/store.experimentalfarmnetwork.org\/products\/driftless-red-shallot","provider":"Experimental Farm Network Seed Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
